THE RICHARDS CASE.
The Mayor to be Tried by the City Council
The Charges Advanced.

The Mayor to be Tried by the City Council
| The Charges Advanced.
Special telegram 10 The Sunday Register.
CLARKsBURG, w. VA, July 23-At a
meeting Of the town Council last night the
motion to impeach Mayor Richards was
considered. Richards counsel Messrs.
Gotf and Maxwell denied the jurisdiction
of the Council, but the point was not sus-
tained. Next Friday night is the
time fixed for the trial.
The public pulse beat quick
with anxiety last night while the question
OF jurisdiction was pending, and when the
council determined that it not only had
the right to try but would try, the ex-
preston 'well done, well done, twas echoed
everywhere. Richards, in his effort to ex-
tricate himself, seeks to make politics the
scapegoat Nothing is more certain than
that politics have nothing to do with the
charges Of impeachment. Two of
the three members of council
voting to sustain the jurisdiction
are Republicans The charges are based
upon the instruction given by the Mayor
to the police and others to brain man by
the name of Feeny if he (Feenyl made a
motion to strike. Feeny is personal enc
my of the Mayor, and if he had been muir
dered with guy-stick the would-be muir
derers would have carried out official in
structions. c. NJ. Hart, Lee Raymond,
Silas Hoff. John Kearns, Jacob Swartz
and MarcellouS Thompson compose the
Council. The majority of these gentlemen
will not permit the fallacious plea of pO-
litical persecution to interfere with the
discharge of their sworn duty. 1t is con-
idently believed that these gentlemen
will vindicate themselves and the commu-
nifty which they represent. The Mayor
presided at the last meeting, but it is be-
heved that modest protest will be made
at the next meeting to the effect that His
Honor shall not sit in judgment on his
own case. The result is awaited with
much anxiety and impatience.

ings and departed for Denver after giving
an afternoon performance to a rather
understood audience, considering that
Cheyenne is the best circus and show
town in the West.
The aggregation was first class in every
respect. The riders were fearless and
dashing, the tumblers, turner's and ira,
peze artists performed many difficult and
dangerous feats. The trained animals
were exceptionally clever and completely
under control of their masters, while the
menagerie was a magnificent collection Of
rare specimens of the animal kingdom.
A concert given at the conclusion of the
show was a very fair entertainment, and
the side show was replete with interesting
attractions.

Russia, is all that the Autographs pictured
him, an intelligent young man with 8
dogs face.
Barretts circus was unaccompanied by
the gang of thieves, thugs, pickpockets
and fakirs which usually attach them
selves to large shows.

WHAT TRUMBLE,s HEAD SHOWS.
An Examination of the Murderer Made
by a PhrenoIogist.

Prof. Alexander, the phrenologist, paid
a visit to the county Jail yesterday for the
purpose of making an examination of the
heads of some of the prisoners confined
there. -Four examinations were made
altogether, including two boys. but the
most important subject was Charley
Trumble, who stands convicted of the
murder Of Miley.
The professor states that Trumble's
nervous system is considerably shattered
through the use of stimulants and mar,
cotics, and he is no longer the man men,
tally that he should be. Tumble is
strongest at the base OF the brain, the
seat of the animal passions. He has the
impetuosity of a Frenchman, inherited
from his mothers side. He is ambitious,
DESTROYS of the appreciation OF
his friends especially, but would
be inclined to resent impositions
from anyone. In his normal condition he
would be rather slow to get angry, but
once aroused he would be desperate.
Like a spring, he can be bent SO far, but
when the rebound comes, it will be all
the more terrible for having been bent.
Under the influence of stimulants, owing
to the base of the brain being largest, he
would be apt to manifest reckless impetu.
osity in action. Consciousness is
fully developed, but appetite and anna
t~iveness are large Through the de.
rangement of either of these functions
would come the greatest trouble.
In his examination, the professor says,
he can find nothing really low, mean OF
vicious in Trumble's organization, except
what has been perverted through the use
of narcotics and stimulants.

The detachment of colored troops and
the squad of pack train attaches so kind
ly furnished by Mai. Ofiey and Capt.
Parker, acting upon the advice of Gen.
Crook, returned to Fort Russell yesterday
forenoon. Guided by Messrs. Ed. Stable
and Henry Bagley, who are thoroughly
acquainted with the territory west of
Cheyenne, they carefully searched the
country between this city and the summit.
Every nook, ravinc and canyon in the
foothills was carefully patrolled by mem
bers of the expedition, and it is pretty
safe to assert that the escaped prisoners
are not in that section. The troops thor
oughly enjoyed the outing and are per-
fectly willing to take another trip, though

is an actor of acknowledged merit and
varied accomplishments. He sings
divinely, acts honestly and well and dances
gracefully. His presentation of the new
play, Shdne-na-L a,on, has been enthus-
iastically received in both East and West.
For the past month he has opened nightly
to standing room only. The catchy
airs. contagious humor and comic passages
and postures in the drama are new,
laughable and entertaining. The plot is
embellished with Just enough of the seri-

How Jones Worked.

Both Watson and Everetts report that
the escaped burglar cut the aperture
through which the men departed in the
daytime, and never worked steadily for
more than an hour at a time.
When the eight criminals who were
confined in the steel cells were removed
from their former quarters to the alleged
invincible cages, the officers were very
careful that they should carry no tools
into their new compartments. So fearful
were the oficialsof an occurrence of
this sort that they adopted the most eau
tious measures to avoid it. Jones, Leroy,
Mccoy and their roommates and neigh
bors were consigned to the new cells in the
costume affected by a Shoshone belle on
dress parade. Their clothes were then
carefully searched and handed to them
through the bars. Now comes a revela-
ton which proves beyond peradventure
that Jones is an old offender, probably an
Eastern safe blower who has just finished
a term. He carried the instrument with
which the major part of the cutting was
done from the lower tier to the steel cells
in his mouth.
This useful tool, so say Everetts and
Watson, was taken away by Jones when
he departed. McCoy's friend Watson
says that both the murderer and the bur,
glar insisted that the latter be allowed to
cut a passage between the cells. Watson
declares that after Jones had indicated
where the hole between the apartments
should be made he objected and said that
if they defaced his cell he would peach"
IF you 'squeal' it means death to me
Phil" pleaded Mccoy. Il know it,"
responded Watson, but l don't propose
to be implicated in this break. [ was
blamed for the other, but had nothing to
do with it." Observing that Watson was
determined, Mccoy and Jones then
concluded that Gums murderer
wouldtake the chances of achange
of cells. Watson declares that he did
not actually see anyone cutting, that
he always retired to his cell when work
was in progress. He idolizes Mccoy and
probably would not hesitate to die for his
hero. At the same time he overlooks
nothing which would tend to further the
interests of Mr.. Watson.

Little Irene Christina, aged 4 months,
died on the Denver train last evening
south of Greeley. The mother and child
were enroute to join Mr.. Christina, who
is in Utah. The lady, who is quite
young, was greatly distressed by the sad
occurrence. and received the sympathy
and assistance of the charitable passen-
gers. The s%orrowing mother insisted
that she be allowed to proceed to Utah
with the remains of her dead darling, as
the father of the child had never yet
gazed upon its face. Mrs. Christina
speaks English very imperfectly, and she
required the services of an interpreter to
make herself understood.

Oscar Sharpless, John Reese and Chas.
Moore are on the trail of the two suspi-

Thursday, and are sparing no effort TO
secure them. In the meantime the Lar
inner county, COL, posse is in hot pursuit
of two men supposed to be Mccoy and
Jones.
The sheriffs of about twenty Texas
counties have been notified of the escape
and are on the lookout. Postal cards
bearing minute descriptions of the men
have been scattered broadcast and it looks
as though every aVenue of escape had
been effectually cut off.
Many persons, among them men of
much experience in such matters, believe
that the quartette is still in Cheyenne.
This seems highly improbable, but is
barely possible. The outside has been
thoroughly searched, but with no definite
or tangible result.
Capt. Smith was not heard from yes
terday, and it is more than probable that
he is on the trail of the missing men.

afternoon, cold, wet, mad and hungry.
Everyone said that if this pair once struck
the trail of the criminals there would be
trouble, with a large T, at once. They
traversed Horse and Pole creeks without
finding even the most indistinct scent or
the slightest clue. The pair have ridden
fully $50 miles since leaving the court
house Tuesday evening. Both are certain
that the missing men cannot be concealed
or in hiding in the territory traversed by
them. Every ranchman and cowboy
whom they met was notified of the escape
and promised to earn a portion or all of
the 81, 900 reward offered for the appre-
hension of the fugitives. Smalley and

suers.
